An early rise as we needed to catch a bus to Heraklion today. Decided against the cab but almost wished I'd taken one after we were kicked off the wrong bus in the middle of nowhere. Thankfully an empty one came along and took us all the way in blissful air-conditioning with no other passengers for the 3 hour ride!

Once in Heraklion we went to the Palace of Knossos which was a Minoan ruin site. Looked really interesting and even saw a four thousand old painting based on a popular energy drink! After Knossos it was back to town and we walked through Koules which was by far the best site to see in Crete. A Venetian Fortress located on the harbour walls that still had all the old cannons and balls...

Before heading over to the airport went for one last massive Greek meal... Very nice but what better way to follow it up than have a disgustingly huge dessert. Couldn't resist the chocolate covered waffle, with whip cream, topped with vanilla and strawberry ice cream!! Apart from the worst remixes you've ever heard the cafe had the most comfortable seats but had to leave far to quick to catch a plane back to London... Crete very nice!
